"This is the second time Rachel visited our district. There was a reason we brought her back for a second time and once again we were not disappointed! She did a great job presenting to our students doing different presentations for different grade levels.  Her messaging was on point to our students about the challenges they face each day with social media as well as the pressure to be perfect. She provided our parents with many different strategies on how to manage their child’s social media including open communication while setting boundaries. What impresses me the most is the connection she makes with students. Several have told me personally over the last few days how much they enjoyed the time she spent with us."

"Your presentation was riveting to both girls and boys. We struggle with so many of the issues you touched upon, such as relational aggression, when joking goes too far, the fact that no one has perfect friendships. Your style of presentation was highly engaging and active. The boys and girls have been a buzz with discussion. This topic was highly relevant to both genders.”
